[CS 402 - Operating Systems][1] at USC during my Master's. I really wanted to develop a mini kernel which I couldn't do in my Bachelor's. This course blew every other thing I ever did out of the water. Was a big reality check too. Fortunately, I had good people around me (thanks Prof. Bill!) who made it easier to squeeze the most out of it. Till this day, it is hardest stuff I have done. Only [MIT's 6.824 Distributed Systems][2] course came close which I couldn't finish as I was going at it all alone (to satiate my Distributed Systems curiosity) and hit a wall. I really hope to get around finishing it someday as it, I believe, will take me to the next level just like CS 402 did.
